now here in california, amazon is building two giant warehouses. including this one near los angeles. it's a million square feet, and for old fashioned retailers, it's another reason to worry. why? because amazon's goal is to get items to customers faster and to be able to offer same day delivery. that's right. you can avoid stores if you want and have a package delivered to your house in a matter of hours. a win for consumers, but tough for local retailers. >> if amazon creates distribution centers and facilities on their turf locally, that takes away the one advantage that we see retailers have left to compete against amazon. so it is a big deal. >> reporter: internet analyst colin their game. >> retailers need to take a lesson from amazon. they need to focus on the consumer experience. they need to become more sophisticated both off line and online. >> reporter: those who want a lesson on how to thrive can learn from books inc in san francisco. >> we had almost everything that comes down the pike that could flatten the industry. >> in a tidal wa

the largest cash crop in california currently. if you take those figures and project them nationwide, and over 100 million americans admit to having smoked marijuana some time in their lives, if you tax it, it's a massive source of revenue. that may be the strongest argument in these tough times to regulate it and tax it since it's being sold illegally. so so do you think this is the beginning of the end? >> i do think this. we're now up to eight states that legalized the drug, and i think you will see a trend toward many, many more. i think, of course, we have to get the federal government to get unified with the states on it. how can the fed stop this? if one state after another legalizes it, they don't have the resources to shut it down. >> that was paul callen, i spoke to him earlier today for that legalization of the recreational use of marijuana. many small business owners were badly hit in the recession. what they hope the government will now do about the economy. try running four.ning a restaurant is hard, fortunately we'v

it's the largest cash crop in california currently. now, if you take those figures and project them nationwide, and by the way over 100 million americans admit to having smoked marijuana at some point in their lives, you start taxing this, it's going to be a massive source of revenue for state and local governments. in the end, you know, that may be the strongest argument in these tough economic times to regulate it and tax it since it's being sold illegally in any event. >> so from a legal standpoint, do you think this is the beginning of the end of illegal marijuana in the u.s.? >> i do think this. we're now up to eight states that have legalized the drug. and i think you're going to see a trend toward many, many more. i do think, of course, we've got to get the federal government to get unified with the states on it, but, you know, it's a -- how can the feds stop this? if one state after another state legalizes it, they just don't have the resources to shut it down. so i think we're seeing a trend and i think we'll see more of it in

policy that everyone wants to get to the answer, including senator dianne feinstein, the democrat from california. as far as those talking points go, it is not at all clear where they were edited. what we do know apparently is that the original determination that al qaeda was involved, or al qaeda affiliated groups was sent out the front door to the cia and went through some sort of editing process, perhaps interagency, perhaps at the white house that still hasn't been answered. what we do know is if the white house wanted to provide the answers, they could have done it before the election and chose not to. let's not forget, of course, general petraeus and his whole personal scandal, debacle, that could also be professional. we still don't know the answers to that. the administration knew of the petraeus investigation. the president claims that he didn't before the election, now we're only learning of it after. >> let's talk a little bit more about susan rice and that whole situation with the talking points, because she is the ambassador to the u.n. she has been mentioned as a possible replacemen

another court in california, by the way, the ninth district, ruled the opposite way, so what happens usually is it goes to the supreme court, and we're going to do a monumental ruling from the supreme court on this question i think in the very near future. >> yeah t.sound like it. michigan's attorney general says the ruling may take a while though to go into effect, if ever. so what does this mean then for minorities seeking admission to michigan universities now and those who sued actually to overturn the ban? >> well, ironically people have the courage to bring these lawsuits and get the whole ball rolling, rarely see the benefit of it, because by the time it winds through the court. four years is up or three years if it's law school so you wouldn't -- you'd be out of law school now because the person who brings the suit goes to another law school so they won't see the benefit of it, the person who actually brings the suit, but other students throughout the united states, of course, will be affected, and they will have an enormous effect on social policies in the united states. >>
